Does your local library have a reading program? Ours does. And in the summer of 2008, Erin, our daughter began to volunteer. She worked Wednesday mornings when the preschool kids came to the library. She had lots of fun and Erin is great with kids. They had an ice cream social and Erin basically helped "run" things. The next summer the head librarian insisted that she volunteer! She also insisted that Erin help with the ice cream social, so I guess she wasn't too bossy! That summer she worked on a different day and it wasn't as much "fun" but she still loved it! This year she's working on Wednesdays again.
Today is the first day of the summer reading program and all the volunteers have to be at the library to help with all the kids that will come in to sign up for the program. There's another homeschool family who lives down the street whose girls are volunteering as well. The mom, Mrs. Kathy, and I have agreed we will do a sort of car pool this summer so we aren't always driving to the library. One week she will drive them, then I the next. This week, however, it would have been 2 times to go to the library so she is taking Erin today, and I will take her 2 girls tomorrow. Even trade! I am glad because I was sooo busy over the holiday weekend that I did not get any laundry done. And, man did we wear some clothes!
